Convert Files to and from IDX Format to Vectors, Matrices and Arrays in R
Description
Convert files to and from IDX format to arrays in R. IDX is a formatto store vector and arrays in binary format.Reading IDX format is needed for instance to use the MNIST database of handwritten digits fromhttp://yann.lecun.com/exdb/mnist/ provided by Yann LeCun.

Examples
m = matrix(1:16, nrow = 4)file_name = file.path(tempdir(),"m.idx")write_idx(m, file_name)mr = read_idx(file_name)Read an IDX file
Description
This function allows to read an IDX file
Usage
read_idx(file_name, endian = "big")Arguments
file_name | character vector containing the name ofthe file to be read |
endian | whether the file has "big" or "little" endian |
Examples
m = matrix(1:16, nrow = 4)file_name = file.path(tempdir(),"m.idx")write_idx(m, file_name) mr = read_idx(file_name)Write an array into an IDX file
Description
This function allows to write an array into an IDX file.
Usage
write_idx(x, file_name, endian = "big")Arguments
x | must be a array or a matrix |
file_name | character vector containing the name ofthe file to be created |
endian | whether the file has "big" or "little" endian. |
Examples
m = matrix(1:16, nrow = 4)file_name = file.path(tempdir(),"m.idx")write_idx(m, file_name)
